Can somebody clarify which heroku plans are best, as you work from development through MVP and initial traction? My current understanding is:
Development Stage: Use the free plan.
MVP Stage: When I have an MVP that I'd like to show people and get feedback on, I'm not sure if I should stay with the free plan, or if I need a paid plan at this point.
Gaining Traction: Still low overall volume, but consistent users. What is the cheapest paid plan that works for this stage? Is it the $15 plan, or the $50 plan?
Increasing Traffic: At this point, it's a little more clear that you choose add-ons to match your specific needs.
I would love it if someone could clarify what kinds of loads each of these plans could reasonably be expected to handle.

If it's exceeding tolerable limits, you need to change something. This might be a re-write of your code to reduce load, or pouring more resource into dynos, workers, database or caching.
